There are aftermarket hardtops out there and the trim is different and then there is the series 3 which is a lot longer but I believe the same width. Sorry I don’t have the dimensions for you.
cheers,
Bob S

Considering the condition, and look of the hard top, I'd venture a guess that it is an original or a good aftermarket. There are some aftermarket tops that look just like the original, but I would expect them to kook newer. Maybe someone can help with more specific comments than just my subjective opinion.
Real or aftermarket; If you are interested in selling, I am looking for one to restore for my car.
Bill.

John it is a factory top! BUT you are missing the rear window chrome which is $$$$$. That said it is still very valuable. Good luck.

As far as I know the same hardtop works for both Series 1 and Series 2.
The prices on BAT are crazy. You can look at the prices of the tops needing restoration and you may see one that is in worse condition selling for more than one that doesn't seem as bad. Go figure.
